Using apple butter makes this bread super moist and tender. It’s also quite hearty thanks to white whole wheat flour and flax seeds. It has a deep apple flavor and warms you up from the inside out. A hot cup of coffee and a thick slice of apple butter bread is a great way to enjoy a chilly morning on the porch.

Apple Butter Bread

2 tablespoons ground flax seed + 2 tablespoons water

1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups apple butter

1/2 cup turbinado or light brown sugar

2 tablespoons canola oil

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine flax seed and water in a medium sized bowl and set aside to thicken.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.

Oops! Don’t forget the cinnamon!

Add apple butter, sugar, and oil to flax mixture.

Stir in the flour, just until combined.

The batter will be super thick.

Spread batter in a loaf pan.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until browned on top and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

If you're looking for a quick Easter breakfast, this bread is great egg hunting fuel!

For those of you that want to know when I am having a baby,

let me just say this will be the only thing coming out of my oven for a very long time.

One thought on “Lovin’ from the Oven”

No bun in my oven either….but no one’s asking me though! I am becoming an aunt this summer, much to my excitement. That is a lot of apple butter, looks like one tasty loaf! Now I almost wish I had some in my pantry to make it with. :)
